When you see a penny catcher (put a penny in, or take one out if you need it) at a convenience store, are you more likely to take out more pennies than you put in, or put more in than you ever take out?

I think I’m 0.01 in the negative.

LOL…Feeling guilty are you?

I never use those things, it’s been years, and the time I did, I put a penny in because I didn’t want the change.

I probably take more than I give. I usually drop my penny in if I buy something that end in 99 cents and get a stray penny at the end, but if I get a whole handful of change, I don’t pick out the pennies, I just drop it all in my pocket.

No, I don’t feel guilty! It’s just something I think of every time I donate, and have been meaning to ask.
I’m pretty sure I put more in, in the end, than I take out. @buckyboy28 If I have a whole bunch of change in my hand, I DO pick the silver out, and donate the pennies….)

I usually pay by credit or debit card. Love swooshing the plastic. I handle cash rarely. I have to admit when I do pay cash and get change back I am more likely to dump it into one of those tins for some charity.

I’ve probably given more than I’ve taken. If I get one or two cents back as change, into the container they go.

I never take pennies out of those, but I never put any in, either.

I stay away from them – that sort of free market scares me

I generally ignore them.

I can’t recall ever taking, but I do drop pennies I receive as change in there.

Actually, I do remember the cashier taking pennies out of it on my behalf so she wouldn’t have to do too much math.

I take, I give. I don’t count how much I have done this over the years. Worrying about this is completely anal.

@Supacase I don’t think it has to do with doing too much math! If a purchase is #.41, and you give her .50, she just needs to hand you back a dime, instead of a nickle and four pennies. As a customer I’d prefer not to get pennies. They are a nuisance.

What is #.41?
Is that like 42?

I put in way more pennies than I take.

I put in. Putting in makes cents to me.

@davidbetterman That means it’s heavier than 42!
